Caryl Chessman appeals to delay death judgment
San Francisco AP Caryl Chessman and his three attorneys filed a habeas corpus petition seeking a stay of execution and a new appeal on grounds of new evidence linking him to the 1948 red light bandit crimes. The California Supreme Court planned to review over the weekend as Los Angeles investigators weigh the claims. Chessman said in a farewell press conference he could prove innocence of the sex crimes for which he faces the gas chamber at San Quentin Monday. Governor Brown had granted a prior reprieve but stated no further action remains possible pending court rulings.
